I recently became obsessed with Chowder recipes on our trip to New England. I came back from that trip thinking about all the ways I could take my Cajun roots and put it into a Cajun chowder recipe. I’m happy to say I now make this and a shrimp version on repeat now.

If you’re craving something cozy and creamy, this Cajun Chicken Chowder is for you. As with many Cajun recipes, the cooking process is pretty simple, and this one comes together really fast, making it a perfect 30 minute dinner for nights when you’re craving something cozy without the extra effort.

It’s one of my favorite easy dinner options because it feels fancy, but it’s incredibly simple to make. One pot, big flavor, and a seriously comforting bowl at the end.

How to get this soup ready quickly on busy nights:

Prep as much as you can on the weekend. For example: cut up and season your chicken breasts. Cut up your onion. Having this done ahead of time, takes a lot of the dread out of cooking when you get home from a busy day.
If you don’t have time to prep on the weekend, cut the chicken while the veggies are cooking, which saves on some of the prep time.
